Could not find my_print_defaults

[David Gentry]

Ryan,

I did all of the cleaning I knew how, and the results are not good.  I still get "Could not find mysqld" and the statement that non-existent directories were searched.  I can fix that with --basedir= or --srcdir=, but that will not help if mysqld is corrupt which it is.  It appears that my Mac is corrupting mysqld when I download it.  I am going to open another thread asking if anyone could send me a copy of the contents of a current mysqld.  Maybe that way I can determine what is happening when I download one.

Ah, I'm glad you found that the files were not the ones provided by MacPorts, because I wasn't sure what to suggest otherwise. Let us know if everything works after cleaning up and trying again.
